The Winter Art Show at The Corbel is kicking off with a seated Italian-inspired dinner by Bacon and Fig and wine pairings by Uncorked NOLA. During the pre-dinner cocktail hour, guests can get a first look at the pieces featured in the show while sipping on complimentary Champagne and mixed drinks, listening to live music, and chatting with some of the featured artists. The four-course wine dinner will be held in The Mallory event venue, directly behind The Corbel.
Winter Art Show featured artist, Nicole Cotten Callac, will do a live painting during the dinner to capture the evening, which will be a live auction item. “Don’t just attend, be part of the story,” The Corbel says on its Instagram.
